Uwe I remember you've done a lot of work on boxes in master. Can you
take a look? I did not do a git bisect (let me know if this would be
useful).
Sorry Scott,
I remember you sent me a mail about this in June when I was working
abroad and then forgot about this topic.
( I see now in mail-archive.com this thread. It would have been nice to
send me at least a direct mail to assure that I am informed. In the past
I could read the list via NNTP but my ISP dropped that feature. When I
am abroad I don't read mail-archive.com .)
Yes you are right, the lyx2lyx conversion is not correct. It should
convert to left alignment for existing boxes.
So in my opinion there is nothing to revert but lyx2lyx needs to be adapted.
That new boxes have by default a centered layout is intended to uniform
the horizontal alignment for all box types.
The new feature to set a horizontal alignment is very useful (at least I
already use this already) and therefore it would be sad if you remove
the whole feature.
It would be nice if you give me the chance to fix this in lyx2lyx
instead of removing the feature.
-----------------
I feel a lot of aggression against me in todays' posts. Maybe it was
wrong to do again something for LyX. LyX is no longer the project I
liked. There are now many rules making it hard for people like me, who
don't program in their job, to follow. I see that I won't be able to
follow LyX's development in future since even Git is too hard for me to
handle. I never need a console in my life or work and therefore cannot
remember all these commands. (E.g. I spent 2 hours to get cherry-picking
to work before I gave up. - Some months ago I could use this feature but
forgot it.) For those who use a commit system daily it is not easy to
understand.
The idea was to document everything to make it possible for people like
me to follow the development but obviously I am still the only Win
developer so that the LyX coding docs only reflect how it works on Unix.
Since my coding abilities are very limited I fear I will sooner or later
loose track how to compile LyX - which will then also be the end of a
Windows installer release.
Sorry for changing the topic. If I am nevertheless welcome you should
know that I will also in future be off completely for weeks (I hope no
longer for months). In these periods I tried at least to keep the
installer running.
regards Uwe
